Heads High

So Richy Pitch’s long awaited ‘Ye Fre Mi Richy Pitch’ offering is almost ripe to drop on the ever-reliable BBE imprint. If  you didn’t believe me when I told you the album was heat, then prepare to be converted…

To heighten our  excitement, Richy has put together a mix featuring some exclusives from the LP, joints from M3nsa’s forthcoming ‘No. 1 Mango Street’ project, M3nsa and Wanlov’s FOKN Bois excursion, some sweet West African selections from times gone by, classic treats from Madlib, Dilla and J Period and some new-school afro antics from Fulgeance and Debruit. In short, you need to hear it.

Unfortunately, Soundcloud embeds just don’t like behaving on the HH site so you can either listen and download below or make the jump to Richy’s Soundcloud here. Either way, make sure you keep the link and support the LP when it drops. Enjoy…
